If the stitched seam appears to constrict the fabric, you may need to reduce the tension slightly. This is normal, especially for lightweight silks.

Don’t use a tracing wheel, as this can snag or damage delicate fabrics. If you’re unsure about your marking tool, test it on a scrap first to ensure it will wash out completely.

Polyester usually benefits from the addition of steam, whereas this causes water spots on silk, so a dry iron is best. Sew shifty silks with a shorter straight stitch length like 2mm. Or use a narrow zig zag for drapey and bias-cut garments that need to stretch a little at the seams.

If your fabric is particularly drapey (or your skirt is full) you may wish to take extra steps: you can steam the skirt to help the fabric settle, or bring the garment – dress form and all – into your bathroom while you have a hot shower to let the steam do its work there. If you don’t want to make a special table cover, you can start with a piece of canvas or denim, ironed flat and placed on your table – just be careful not to cut through it!
